Adults: The ointment should be applied to the affected area once to twice daily. Twice daily application of the ointment is often preferred initially. Application of the ointment can be reduced to once daily when appropriate.
Maximum weekly dose should not exceed 100 g.
Twice daily application of Daivonex in combination with ciclosporin or acitretin and once daily application of Daivonex in combination with corticosteroids (e.g. administration of Daivonex in the morning and steroid in the evening) is effective and well tolerated.
The addition of Daivonex twice daily will enhance the efficacy and reduce the dosage of ciclosporin and acitretin.
